Do you remember when it was possible to travel from any point in
Chicago to any other and to/from the suburbs by rail?

Do you remember being able to travel from Chicago to any other city by
rail in comfort? I remember traveling from Chicago to NYC in a clean,
well-furnished private room.

What "few places" are you talking about?

And what "many places" are you excluding?

I think I might want to disagree with you, but I'm not quite clear on
what you're saying ;-)
